Anybody have taken a mirror apart or have a drivers mirror they'd part with? I've got a loose drivers mirror. The mounting screws inside the mirror seen to have backed out just enough for the mirror to rattle. Looking at it I can't see how one would tighten the screws. If I could pop off the mirror at the socket then probably could tighten them.

@Carbon_One I purchased the slingshotonly convex mirrors and didn't want to stick it over the old glass so i heated it with heat cun and used a 1-1/2 metal putty knife and removed the glass and is perfect. it can be done with patience i attached pics the glass is just 2 side foam tape. If you want to get together i can give you a hand with it

That's awesome info Jay. I'll check on heating it up with my heat gun tomorrow. Glad to hear the glass is held in place with double stick tape instead of glue. How do you like those convex mirrors?
@Carbon_One take your time.... @jaycanter suggestion will work but you have to be very patient and take your time. It's very easy to crack and break the mirror head. Just to be clear is it the mirror head that is vibrating or is it the full housing?

as @Ruptured Duck says take your time i missed pics and just uploaded you can see some foam still on it i started at the small outside part to get started then worked around wiggling from side to side. Doing that left some tape on the plastic. The new mirror does take some getting used to.

I have the exact same issue with both mirrors. My dealer ordered 2 new ones under warranty repair.

@Carbon_One get some adhesive promoter to use before the tape i clean the plastic and stuck new mirror on to find 3 days later driving it started to come off i put promoter on and couple weeks now and couple hr drives and all is good better to be safe

@Carbon_One Glad you got it the 8 oz container i have had for 1-1/2 and still works great about 15.00 on amazon the others are 1 time use per package. comes in handy with the slingshot since everything is plastic. even with the lights under my hood they don't come loose with the heat
